Propeller

What kind of boating feller
names his ship ‘propeller’?

Stirred perhaps by humor, rancor
or nautically confused thinker?
Why not ‘rudder’, perhaps ‘anchor’
as doubt a name shall sink’er?

Or a marine case of the tail wagging man’s best friend
a ship rotating round idle prop at its aft end?
